Splunk SPLK-2001 Dumps

The correct answer is A, B, and D, because they are all items that can be configured in inputs.conf. Inputs.conf is a configuration file that defines how Splunk ingests data from various sources, such as files, directories, network ports, scripts, or modular inputs. A modular input written in Python is a type of input that allows Splunk to ingest data from a custom source using a Python script. A file input monitoring a JSON file is a type of input that allows Splunk to monitor a file or directory for new or updated data in JSON format. An HTTP Event Collector as receiver of data from an app is a type of input that allows Splunk to receive data from an app via HTTP or HTTPS requests. A custom search command written in Python is not an item that can be configured in inputs.conf, but in commands.conf.

The correct answer is A, because the correct post-process syntax for the base search shown below is var mypostproc1 = new PostProcessManager {{ id: “post1”, managerid: “base-search”, search: “| stats count by sourcetype” }}. The PostProcessManager is a JavaScript object that creates a post-process search that runs on the results of a base search. The PostProcessManager requires three parameters: id, managerid, and search. The id is a unique identifier for the post-process search. The managerid is the id of the base search that the post-process search depends on. The search is the post-process search string that runs on the base search results. The other options are incorrect because they either use the wrong managerid, the wrong object name, or the wrong search string.

When the same search is required from a REST API call, all the fields will be given, including _raw, name, sourcetype, and instantaneous_kbps. This is because the default output mode for the REST API is XML, which returns all the fields and values for each event. To limit the fields returned, you can use the output_mode parameter with a value of json_cols, json_rows, or csv. For more information, see Access Splunk data using feeds.

 The correct answer is B, C, and D, because they are all valid parent elements for the event action shown below. The event action is a element, which is used to set the value of a token based on a user interaction, such as a click or a change. The element can be nested inside a , a , or a element, depending on the type and context of the event. The element is not a valid parent element for the element, but a sibling element that can be used to evaluate an expression and set the value of a token.

The correct answer is A, C, and D because these are the valid values for the sharing property of the Access Control List (ACL) when updating a knowledge object via REST. The sharing property determines the scope of the knowledge object and who can access it. The value of the User is not valid for the sharing property. You can find more information about the ACL and its properties in the Splunk REST API Reference Manual.

 The correct answer is B because when calling the serviceNS endpoint, you must specify the user and app context in the URI. The serviceNS endpoint is a REST endpoint that allows you to access the Splunk service for a specific namespace. The namespace is a combination of the user and the app context, which determine the scope and visibility of the knowledge objects in Splunk. The serviceNS endpoint requires you to specify the user and app context in the URI, such as /servicesNS/{user}/{app}. Option A is incorrect because you do not need to authenticate with an admin user, but rather with the user of the required context. Option C is incorrect because you do not need to authenticate with the user of the required context, but rather with any valid user. Option D is incorrect because you do not need to pass the user and app context in the request payload, but rather in the URI. You can find more information about the serviceNS endpoint and the namespace in the Splunk REST API Reference Manual.

 The correct answer is B and D, because they are the files within an app that contain permissions information. Permissions information refers to the access control settings for the app, such as who can read and write to the app, and whether the app is visible to all users or only to the app owner. The files that contain permissions information are the metadata/local.meta and metadata/default.meta files, which are located in the metadata folder of the app. The local/metadata.conf and default/metadata.conf files do not exist, and are not valid configuration files for an app.

 The correct answer is A, B, and C because these are the possible reasons why the dashboard is not seen after moving myApp to a different Splunk instance. Option A is correct because if the dashboard’s permissions were set to private, only the owner of the dashboard can see it on the new instance. Option B is correct because if the user role permissions are different on the new instance, the user may not have access to the dashboard. Option C is correct because if the admin deleted the myApp/local directory before packaging, the dashboard configuration may have been lost. Option D is incorrect because changes placed in $SPLUNK_HOME/etc/apps/search/default/data/ui/nav do not affect the visibility of the dashboard. You can find more information about dashboard permissions and configuration in the Splunk Developer Guide.

The correct answer is A because the /servicesNS/-/data/saved/searches/mySearch endpoint path can be used by someone with a power user role to access information about mySearch, a saved search owned by someone with a user role. The /servicesNS/-/data/saved/searches endpoint returns information about saved searches in a specific namespace. The - symbol in the URI means that the user and app context are inherited from the current session. Therefore, a power user can access the saved search information by using the - symbol, assuming the permissions are set appropriately. The other options are incorrect because they either use invalid endpoints or do not specify the user and app context correctly. You can find more information about the /servicesNS endpoint and the namespace in the Splunk REST API Reference Manual.

 The correct answer is B, C, and D because these are the characteristics of an add-on. An add-on is a Splunk app that provides reusable components or technology for other apps. Option B is correct because an add-on occupies a unique namespace within Splunk, which means it has its own app directory and configuration files. Option C is correct because an add-on can depend on other add-ons for correct operation, such as the Common Information Model Add-on. Option D is correct because an add-on contains technology or components that are not intended for reuse by other apps, such as data inputs, field extractions, lookups, and modular inputs. Option A is incorrect because an add-on does not require a navigation file, as it does not have any user interface elements. You can find more information about add-ons in the Splunk Developer Guide.

The log file that contains logs that are most relevant to Splunk Web is web_service.log. This log file records information about the web server that runs Splunk Web, such as requests, responses, errors, and performance. The other log files contain logs that are related to other aspects of Splunk, such as audit.log for security events, metrics.log for performance metrics, and splunkd.log for Splunk daemon activity. For more information, see [About Splunk log files].

The correct answer is B, because the element will unset a token named my_token. The element is used to remove the value of a token based on a user interaction, such as a click or a change. The token attribute specifies the name of the token to be unset. The other options are incorrect because they will not unset a token named my_token. The myt​oken element is invalid, because the token name should not be enclosed in dollar signs. The false and disabled elements will not unset the token, but set its value to false or disabled, respectively.

When output_mode is not used, the title element of a feed is a human readable name for a returned entry. The title element contains the name of the object, such as the name of a saved search or a dashboard. The other elements are not human readable names, but rather identifiers, links, or authors of the entry. For more information, see Access Splunk data using feeds.

The correct answer is D, because defining an alternative search or target view to use is a customization option for the Open in Search panel link button. The Open in Search panel link button is a feature that allows the user to open the search results of a panel in a new search page. The alternative search or target view option allows the user to specify a different search string or a different view name to use when opening the search page4. The other options are not customization options for the Open in Search panel link button, but for the panel itself. Displaying the refresh time, showing the Export Results button, and showing link buttons at the bottom of a panel are all attributes that can be configured for a panel.

A KV store collection can be associated with a namespace for users in the admin, power, and splunk-system-user roles. These roles have the capability to create and manage KV store collections. The nobody user cannot access any KV store collection, and the users in the admin and power roles alone cannot access the collections in the splunk-system-user namespace. For more information, see KV Store namespaces.

 The correct answer is A and B, because for a KV Store, a lookup stanza in the transforms.conf file must contain the collection and fields_list attributes. A lookup stanza is a configuration section in the transforms.conf file that defines the properties of a lookup, such as the lookup type, the lookup file or collection, the input and output fields, and the match type. A lookup is a feature that allows Splunk to enrich the events with additional data from an external source, such as a CSV file or a KV Store collection. For a KV Store lookup, the lookup stanza must have the collection attribute, which specifies the name of the KV Store collection to use, and the fields_list attribute, which specifies the fields to return from the KV Store collection2. The external_type and internal_type attributes are not required for a KV Store lookup, but for a scripted lookup, which is a type of lookup that uses an external script to perform the lookup operation.

The Simple XML elements that configure panel link buttons are <title>Open In Search and true. The title element specifies the text that appears on the link button, and the option element enables the link button to be visible. The other elements are either irrelevant or used for different options. For more information, see Drilldown to a URL.

 The correct answer is B, C, and D because these are the ways to enable indexer acknowledgement for HTTP Event Collector (HEC). Indexer acknowledgement is a feature that ensures that the data sent to HEC is successfully indexed by Splunk before deleting it from the sender. Option B is correct because you can use a REST request to create a token with the indexer_ack property set to 1. Option C is correct because you can select the checkbox labeled “Enable indexer acknowledgment” when creating a new HEC token in Splunk Web. Option D is correct because you can select the checkbox labeled “Enable indexer acknowledgment” when updating the Global Settings for HEC in Splunk Web. Option A is incorrect because indexer acknowledgment is not turned on by default. You can find more information about indexer acknowledgment for HEC in the Splunk Developer Guide.

 By using visualization drilldown, you can hide or show a panel by clicking on a chart or a table on the same form. Visualization drilldown lets you define a drilldown action that affects a different panel on the same dashboard. You can use the set or unset tokens to control the visibility of the target panel. For more information, see Visualization drilldown.

The correct answer is C, because omitting the value of _key from the REST endpoint would cause all records in a collection to be deleted. The _key is a unique identifier for each record in a KV Store collection. The REST endpoint for deleting a record from a collection is /storage/collections/data//, where is the name of the collection and is the value of _key. If the is omitted, the REST endpoint becomes /storage/collections/data/, which deletes all records in the collection. The other options are incorrect because they are not the consequences of omitting the value of _key from the REST endpoint. Cleaning the KV store, deleting all content would require deleting all collections, not just one. Producing the syntax error “Key value missing” would not happen, because the REST endpoint is valid without the value. Meaning that the _key value must be passed as an argument would not make sense, because the argument is the same as the value in the REST endpoint.

 The correct answer is C and D, because trellis.name and trellis.value are the predefined drilldown tokens available specifically for trellis layouts. Trellis layouts are a way of displaying multiple charts in a grid, each with a different value of a split-by field. The trellis.name token returns the name of the split-by field, and the trellis.value token returns the value of the split-by field for the selected chart.
